DarkSea Hold
While he is neither distinguished nor respected, the eminent Holder of this region, Nos, is well-known throughout Pern. Equally anti-dragonrider, and equally aggressive, he is a potent threat to the way of life Valihi cherishes.

Everfalls SeaHold
This Seahold is set on the gaping coast of a northern sea. Its renowned crafts include the creation of sturdy, light sailboats that all of Pern admires. Led by Lady Brilissi, this woman has been Cerilend's friend and valued supporter since they were girls. However, Brilissi never entirely recovered from a heartbreak she suffered when young and is thus a diminished figure in the Hold power struggle.

Rioghan Hold
Rioghan is a Hold of study and agriculture - its Holder, Galahad, enforcing the literate aspects of Pernese life. Around the structure spreads fields of greenery that would make the forests of the Southern Continent blush with envy. The previous Holder, Arthur, built a building in the middle of the clutter which exists behind high, and thick stone walls, putting all of the history books, leather parchment, and any old document he had into it, creating one of the first libraries. Harpers from all around come to Rioghan to seep in some of the Hold�s old history, and read some of the ancient letters from the past Holders of Rioghan to other Holders...

Terilani Hold
This Hold is known more for the sinister tendrils of evil that wrap around its manor than the type of goods it reluctantly tithes to Valihi. This Hold exists both to impale the Weyrwoman Cerilend when she commits a misstep and to defeat the dragonrider way of life. Recently, the aura of the Hold was changed in unforseen ways by the unexpected flight of its mistress, the Lady Volys. Boltram is now without a wife, Volys is sheltered in Valihi amid the bronze riders for comfort, and a gray-eyed Harper enters to offer solace. The legendary manor feels the touch of Volys's absence still, even as the greatness of an era is swept away along the evening breeze.
Lord: Boltram
Lady: Position currently unfulfilled (formerly held by Volys)
